Greenwich Park 5k, 10k & Kids Race

Three laps of the same circuit for the ten k (poor half marathon people had to do it six times!) which was a challenging route with a long uphill section. The start was a bit odd, the lady who started us was amazing, but the music wasn’t working and it all felt a bit awkward. At the finish I got given my medal by a really friendly and excited lady and that felt great but I felt like a criminal stealing a snack from a table that reminded me of a Christmas market craft fair where the man stood behind the table staring at me rather than offering my snack or saying well done, I wasn’t sure if I could take one if I’d it was something I was meant to buy. The people on the water table were much better and I stopped to have a chat with them! Finally the communication wasn’t great, I got an email on Tuesday with the race pack then nothing else the day before or on the day, and I haven’t had an email since the event either which I’d expect on the day to say well done and at least tell me when I’ll get my time or anything else. Overall I probably will do this event again just for the challenge of the hill and to see if I can improve my time.
